If You Have a Straight Figure

What to look for: “A dress with built-in curves. You’ll know it when you see it because it will have a great shape even on the hanger,” says Andrews. Also keep an eye out for a fitted bodice with darts and seaming throughout the torso to help create a defined, feminine silhouette.

What to avoid: Thin, elasticized waistbands or gathered fabric at the stomach that adds thickness to the middle and makes the body look straighter.
